Right now on my own Excel sheet, because I'm a nerd, I have every scent I've tried on my own skin listed and rated. So I can keep tabs of what I really like and revisit them later. I even kept tabs of colognes I want to give a second chance to. Anyway, last night, I was thinking, "So, what really makes a scent a 5, a 4, or even a 3?" "Okay, how does this scale work with longevity?" With scents, if it's a 4 or higher, I'll definitely buy a bottle. A 3.5, I'll buy a mini of it

I think my friends are slowly starting to learn I do get a little carried away with this stuff. None of them are really into this stuff and own 3 bottles at most, with the exception of one who also registered

Well, in my 3 or so months of semi-blind buys, blind buys, and random sampling when I learned my lesson about how to shop for new bottles. It mostly started with semi-blind buys. I would either sniff a magazine insert or a strip of paper. This is entirely different than spraying these scents on your skin, not only that, but wearing it multiple times. First of all, the whole thing started when I decided I wanted to get a cologne. So I went searching around the internet for information. Websites

Here's how I organize my fragrances. What I use and store in my dresser drawer. What's in my emergency duffle bag (it's a bag of extra clothes in the trunk of my car that I keep for whatever reason like staying overnight at someone's house, change of clothes after playing basketball, drink/food spilling on me, etc). What's on the "trading block" (or for sale). Pending samples to test. I'll even include what I used to have. The stuff I wear is usually scents that fit my personality. I'm
